Hearing this, Ning Yi raised his eyebrows, revealing a look of curiosity, and asked, "What's the problem?" ”

The topic that can make Zheng Beibei so attentive and work overtime so late is definitely not a small topic.

Zheng Beibei saw Ning Yi staring at the electronic board with a blank look, and said with an embarrassed smile on his face: "I'm sorry, I forgot that you don't know anything about this." ”

She paused, then continued, "That's right, to put it simply, we're working on a topic, where have the Talon gone. ”

"Huh?" Ning Yi pinched his chin and stared at Zheng Beibei, this topic is really big.

"You see, three days before the occurrence of the beast tide this time, we tested the data of about 400 nautical miles in the open sea, and after calculation, we found that the Q value reached 0.313 at a position of about 400 nautical miles, and the Q value reached 0.296 an hour before the beast tide occurred, which is basically consistent with the value of the beast tide we calculated."

"And our so-called Q value is actually a very critical one, which is to reflect the number of Phantom Claw Monsters in a certain space, in other words, in a certain space, the number of Phantom Claw Monsters reaches saturation or above, in order to squeeze out the living space, Phantom Claw Monsters have to expand outward, marching to land, thus forming a tide of beasts, I say so, can you understand?"

Ning Yi smiled: "Of course, you have spoken many times. ”

"Okay, then I'll show you another statistic." Zheng Beibei converted the electronic screen, and another strange string of characters and data appeared.

But none of this matters, because Ning Yi can't understand it, but there is a value below.

0.65。 This should be the result of the calculation.

"See, this is now 400 nautical miles away. The current Q value, calculated. We found that the Q value was 0.65, which theoretically meant that the Spectral Monsters could live comfortably there. ”

Ning Yi nodded: "Is there a problem with this data?" ”

"It's no problem to look at, because we don't have the survey data from the previous end of the beast tide to compare, so we can only treat it as normal." Zheng Beibei said.

"So, what does this have to do with the subject you're studying?" Ning Yi asked curiously.

"Of course, for the same location, the Q value changes from 0.296 to 0.65, which means that the number of Spectreclaw monsters in that place has dropped to only a quarter of what it used to be. This variable is too big. ”

Hearing this, Ning Yi said thoughtfully: "I understand, you mean to say that after the beast tide is over, why did these ghost-claw monsters disappear all of a sudden?" ”

"Yes, we collected a lot of data, we verified our Q company, we didn't find any problems, and then we checked our probing equipment as well. No problems were found, so the location of 400 nautical miles away, the ghostclaw monster was indeed reduced. Closer to the point, the situation is the same at 300 nautical miles, 200 nautical miles, and 100 nautical miles, all of which are greatly reduced. ”

"So here's the problem. When the beast tide is high, the Ghost Claw monsters that rush to the shore are roughly modeled. There are more than 30,000 heads in Haiyang District alone, but now they are calculated backwards based on the Q value. With a width of ten kilometers and an extension of 400 nautical miles, the current number of ghostclaw monsters is only two or three thousand, which is simply a heaven and an underground compared to so many ghostclaw monsters during the beast tide, so we have to ask, where did these missing ghostclaw monsters go? ”

"Is it possible to take them and go back 400 nautical miles, 500 nautical miles deeper? And after the beast tide happened, a large number of ghost-clawed monsters were also killed by us. Ning Yi said.

"Yes, these two factors are indeed very important, but in fact, when the beast tide occurred, we found that the number of ghostclaw monsters surging up the coast was almost 30,000, and at the position of 400 nautical miles in the open sea, the number of ghostclaw monsters at that time was still quite a lot, so in fact, at that time, the number of ghostclaw monsters appearing in this area of 400 nautical miles was at least doubled, 60,000."

"60,000 heads, deducting the people who were killed by us this time and trampled on each other to death, there are about more than 1,400 heads, and there are also more than 50,000 heads, but now there are only less than 3,000, a difference of nearly 20 times."

"We use a speculative formula to calculate, if the remaining phantom claw monsters are retreating to the open sea, then 500 nautical miles, 1000 nautical miles or even 5000 nautical miles, the number of phantom claw monsters should not be less, but the results of random sampling of our unmanned reconnaissance aircraft show that the number of phantom claw monsters over there is not much, considering that there are also beast tides in other places, and there are also many phantom claw monsters that have disappeared, then the number of phantom claw monsters in the open sea should still be a lot, but the current investigation results are, We can't see where they are. ”

"So, what you said is that you have discovered this secret?" Ning Yi asked.

Zheng Beibei nodded, but shook his head again: "It can be said that it can be said that it is not." ”

"Huh?" Ning Yi didn't understand this.

"That's right, when the beast tide is about to end, in order to get detailed information, we took the risk of putting trackers on several of the escaped Spectreclaw monsters in an attempt to track where they will go."

"Oh, I remember this, what Zheng Wu and they did at that time was to help you install trackers, right?" As soon as Zheng Beibei said this, Ning Yi had some impressions in his mind.

"Yes!" Zheng Beibei nodded, "We have successfully installed a total of five trackers, but three should have been thrown off halfway, and only two of the remaining can be used." ”

"The result?" Ning Yi asked with interest.

Zheng Beibei stretched out her hand and scratched a few times on an electronic screen on the desktop in front of her, and then a schematic diagram of the open sea appeared.

Ning Yi found that on the electronic real map, two bright spots were displayed, and the distance between the two bright spots was quite far away.

"Two phantom claw monsters, one is still cruising at a position of more than three hundred nautical miles, and the other is more than fifteen nautical miles." Zheng Beibei explained.

"What's wrong with that?" Ning Yi asked puzzled.

"Yes, this Spectreclaw monster at three hundred nautical miles, these days. Its range has always been between 350 nautical miles and 250 nautical miles, cruising back and forth at depths of 40 to 60 meters. We traced its trajectory for half a month and found that it never exceeded this range. ”

"And we've also tracked the activity habits of some of the Ghostclaw Monsters on Linglan Island. I also found a problem, that is, the phantlaw monsters are all from their own territory, they only patrol within their own territory, unless it is a beast tide, otherwise they generally do not swim out of their own territory. ”

Ning Yi frowned slightly, and said with a deep groan: "Then what? Could it be that there is something wrong with the Spectreclaw monster 1,500 nautical miles away? ”

Zheng Beibei nodded: "Yes, after our observation, we found that the activity width of the Phantom Claw Monster is generally about one hundred nautical miles, but this Phantom Claw Monster that is 1,500 nautical miles away is definitely rare." This is equivalent to spanning more than 2,700 kilometers, which is equivalent to spanning half of the north-south length of the Chinese country. ”

Zheng Beibei paused, looked at Ning Yi and said, "And we found that when it swam 1,500 nautical miles away, it dived about 10,000 meters, and the signal was cut off, and it was broken for a long time. ”

"Fifteen hundred nautical miles?" Ning Yi looked at the map and said in surprise, "Marinaya Trench? ”

"Yes, it's the Marinaya Trench." Zheng Beibei said.

"So it's back to the Talon birthplace?" Ning Yi asked.

Zheng Beibei nodded: "Yes." It made its way to the Marinaya Trench, where we believed to be the birthplace of the Spectreclaw, but strangely enough, our tracking signal had been missing for a while. ”

"Your transmitters can send signals upwards from the depths of the ocean floor?" Ning Yi asked in surprise, he knew that undersea communication was definitely a super problem, not to mention shortwave communication. Long-wave communication can only passively receive signals, and it is impossible for the signal instrument to actively transmit signals to inform its own position.

Zheng Beibei nodded: "These are some specially made signal transmitters, which are not small in size. Theoretically, the signal transmitter developed by us and the Academy of Sciences can withstand the pressure of the deep sea at least 10,000 meters, and can automatically catapult signal buoys to the surface of the sea even at the deepest position of 11,000 kilometers in the Marinaya Trench. ”

Zheng Beibei paused and continued to explain: "After the signal buoy catapults to the surface of the sea. It will automatically send a signal to dock with the laser signal of the satellite in the sky, or to dock with our long-wave signal station. We can analyze the data of the pressure sensor installed in the signal generator, and we can know the location of this signal point and how deep it has reached through calculations, so that we can calculate the specific location that the Spectral Monster has reached, of course, this process is quite complicated and requires luck. ”

"All in all, though, we know that it reached a depth of more than 10,000 meters, and then it didn't continue to send back signals, and after a few days of disappearance, it suddenly reappeared, and floated up to the Spectreclaw's favorite depth, about 40 meters or so."

"How many days have you been missing?" Ning Yi frowned and asked, "Could it be that your equipment is out of order?" After all, it's more than 10,000 meters deep in the Marinaya Trench, and as you said yourself, this positioning method itself is not too accurate, and it is normal for your buoy signaling device to fail. ”

"At first, we thought the same thing, but something like this happened twice, each time at a depth of more than 10,000 meters, and the signal disappeared."

"Is there something special about that place that will make your transmitter temporarily fail?"

Zheng Beibei shook his head: "That signal transmitter is installed with a total of twelve signal catapult devices, each device can record all the trips of the ghost claw monster, so far four signal devices have been ejected, yesterday we called up all its whereabouts these days, and we found that this ghost claw monster began to swim back to the Marinaya Trench after the end of the beast tide, the depth is about 36 meters to 50 meters, and occasionally surfaces in the middle, but after reaching the Marinaya Trench, It began to swim straight to the depths of the sea. ”

"And then surprisingly dived directly for more than 10,000 meters, you know, the depth of 10,000 meters on the bottom of the sea, almost to withstand 1,000 atmospheres of pressure, in other words, an area of one square centimeter to withstand a thousand kilograms of pressure, an ordinary submarine will be pressed into a steel plate, in terms of the shell of the ghost-clawed monster, it can't withstand such a huge pressure at all, but it just did it."

Ning Yi nodded, he knew that although the strength of the claw monster's shell was so strong that it was speechless, it had not yet reached such a strong point.

"Let's not care how it dives." Zheng Beibei said, "The weird thing I'm going to talk about now happened at this time, the transmitter we installed on the ghost-clawed monster, it is equipped with a pressure sensor, this pressure sensor can calculate the external pressure in real time at a frequency of once a minute, through the pressure value, we can calculate the depth of the seabed where the ghost-claw monster is located, when our instrument recorded a depth of 10,000 and 98 meters, the signal was interrupted instantly, and the pressure value suddenly became a standard atmosphere"

"One standard atmosphere?" Ning Yi thought for a moment and said in amazement, "Isn't that the normal land pressure?" ”

Zheng Beibei nodded: "Yes, so we think that the pressure sensor may be out of order, otherwise there is no possibility of a standard atmospheric pressure at a depth of 10,000 meters." ”

"So is the pressure sensor really out of order?"

"Of course not!" Zheng Beibei shook his head, "Judging by the recorded data, the time that suddenly became one standard atmosphere lasted for three days, and after three days, it suddenly became a thousand and five atmospheres, which is equivalent to a position of ten thousand and fifty meters, and the ghost claw monster quickly floated towards the sea level. ”

Ning Yi took a long breath, he was not a scientist, but he really couldn't understand this phenomenon.

"So," Ning Yi pondered, "what else did you find?" ”

"Because the same thing happened twice, we came to the conclusion that something must have happened on the side of the Marinaya Trench that we didn't know." Zheng Beibei said, "We have calculated a lot of data in the past few days, and the conclusion is that if the world's ghostclaw monsters are concentrated there, that place will not be able to support so many ghostclaw monsters at all, because at such a deep seabed, there is basically not much food they want." ”

"But our data calculations show that the Marinaya Trench is indeed the birthplace of the Ghost Claw, and if we want to know what is going on, we can only do one thing, and that is to go to the field," Zheng Beibei said here, shrugging his shoulders and saying helplessly, "But so far, humans may not be able to do this, it is too deep there, and there are too many monsters gathered there." ”

Ning Yi's brows tightened slightly, of course, he knew that in this world, there was indeed no human being who had ever been to the bottom of the sea so deeply. (To be continued......)
